The Genetic Architecture of Grain Yield in Spring Wheat Based on Genome-Wide Association Study

Uncovering the genetic architecture for grain yield (GY)–related traits is important for wheat breeding. To detect stable loci for GY-related traits, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in a diverse panel, which included 251 elite spring wheat accessions mainly from the Northeast of...

description Uncovering the genetic architecture for grain yield (GY)–related traits is important for wheat breeding. To detect stable loci for GY-related traits, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in a diverse panel, which included 251 elite spring wheat accessions mainly from the Northeast of China.

This study provides new insights into the genetic architecture of GY and the significantly associated SNPs and accessions with a larger number of favorable alleles could be used to further enhance GY in breeding.
